Can’t say enough about our stay in this charming cabin…we enjoyed the fireplace, the comfy bed, and all the quirky features of this historic cabin. Want Restoration Hardware & quartz counters…keep scrolling. Want cozy, unique, thoughtful accommodations in the heart of a walkable historic mining town that’s surrounded by amazing hiking? Then this VRBO is the one for you!

Fun original cabin, filled with a quirky collection of mountain antiques, with as good as a location as you can get in Lake City. Perfect for a family or a group of close friends. Tons of games, movies, and a well equipped kitchen. Svetlana was a great and communicative host. We would be thrilled to return.

Great cabin to stay in! It was perfect for our family for this vacation. If you like history, this is the place for you! Only wish there was a book with a detailed history of the cabin. We spent some time trying to figure out how the original cabin was compared to now. Thank you for preserving a piece of Lake City history!

Hello! A bit late response, but I was going through reviews and decided to chime in. The original cabin from the eighteen hundreds got burned down in the fortees. The chimney is all that remained. Existing cabin was built at the end of 40s and layout basically did not change since then. Unfortunately there are no known records of the original cabin. I hope that helps. Svetlana

It was a fun stay. Rustic is correct. Because it’s an old cabin located in town, there might be limitations to what the owner’s can do and remodel. There was no screens on the window.Overall it was a great stay and I recommend

We so enjoyed our stay in the is adorable, nostalgic cabin. We loved the old, rustic decor and was so much fun staying here than in a hotel. Having our host, Svetlana across the street was great and she was so helpful and friendly and it was great meeting her.
